Title: asp or asp.net pages with NTWS
Post by: johanl on May 13, 2012, 08:34:40 AM

Hello

I have code in asp or asp.net and would like to know if it is possible to run it from within NTSW or if it is possible to link NTSW to the external asp or asp.net pages?

Thanks

I would think not because asp needs IIS to serve pages just like trying to serve up a NTW page from IIS wouldn't work. PHP works in NTW because those pages are parsed via the PHP engine before NTW parses them and serves them up. NTW was specifically adapted to add this capability. I'm not sure if Bruce has plans to do the same for ASP.

Kevin is correct, and at this time there are no plans to add ASP support (indeed, I'm not even sure it would be possible to do so even if we wanted to.)

>> or if it is possible to link NTSW to the external asp or asp.net pages?

of course pages on your server can point to pages on other servers, regardless of their language.

cheers

you might be able to have your external (running on a different port than your NTWS) asp/asp.net stuff running in an iframe

Thanks Kevin, Bruce

For a beginner in Web Development I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

So now I read up on asp.net development, may have a look at the php stuff as well.

Thanks

you shouldn't need to, and indeed you won't want to, do any ASP or PHP development. NetTalk is sufficient, but of course you do then need to know a bit about what you're doing.
